Overview
As president of the former Dana College, Dr. Frank Kingdon was instrumental in the creation of the University of Newark, a predecessor to Rutgers University–Newark. He was active in many progressive causes in Newark and later served as the founding chair of the Emergency Rescue Committee, which saved nearly 2,000 people from their deaths during the Holocaust. Kingdon’s career provides an important window into understanding Newark during the Great Depression.
The presenter is Tom Kingdon, Professor Emeritus of Emerson College, TV/film producer and son of Frank Kingdon.
